That "everyone is so fucking shy" part is so true. I used to think I was the shy one but brother its so hard to talk to people nowadays. They just dont talk.
And the most frustrating part is you can't tell which ones would light up if you approached them and started a conversation, and which ones (the majority) just want to be not bothered. And the ones that want to know and connect with you are thinking the same when they're deciding if they should say hi to you or not.
Everyone is socially out of practice by design.
@@greyfox4838just be annoying
Some of us are just antisocial and really don't fuck with people.
I always remember Andrei Tarkovsky saying that "young people need to learn how to be alone with themselves". We are so interconnected but without meaning, most people can't stand being alone with their thoughts hence the overstimulation. Loneliness is the symptom and the solution, introspection brings meaning.
Thing is, I've spent most of my teen years exploring myself. I had friends, but I wasn't interested in anything more. I was having more fun on my own than I was with others. And I feel like those years paid off in terms of self discovery. But does that cure loneliness? Not really.
I never wanted to date when I was in highschool. But it was in my first year as a college freshman, I moved to New York City, I was on the subway, it was late and a tiresome day, I was listening to music, all the companionship I needed, or so I thought. And then I saw a couple on the opposite seat, her head placed on his shoulder, his head over hers, and they were half dozing off, and I thought to myself "I can't lie my head on my own shoulders."
I know I'm enough for myself, and I genuinely enjoy my own solitude, but still I feel like I'm missing something vital. A deep hole in the deepest part of my soul that I can never fill on my own. Sorry, but Tarkovsky ain't helping.
@@greyfox4838 Your problem right there was comparison, the 5 roots of suffering are expectation, attachment, inaction, lack of abundance (feeling like things are finite, running out, you won't get it... etc.) and comparison. This is just me saying this, but I believe if one doesn't indulge in any of these things they will never have a reason to be depressed, to me it felt like all my anger, neuroticism and sadness stemmed from these five things, but I can't say it's easy to overcome. I still struggle day to day, but it at least makes it easier to understand the root cause.
I agree but there needs to be a healthy balance available. The fear of being alone comes from a fear of being alone forever. If people knew they’d have plenty of chances to socialize and build relationships in the future they’d be less scared to step back from the scraps of culture between propaganda and ads that we get our meaning from and be comfortable enough to reflect on themselves occasionally. There’s a reason Maslows hierarchy is a pyramid🙏🏻
No
Introspection does not create meaning, meaning doesn't even objectively EXIST. What gives people the sense of "meaning" is interpersonal experience and striving. That's it, if you even go so far as to call that meaning. All one can do is act and speak in whatever way will fill their heart nothing more nothing less.
Honestly it just feels like everyone is just progressing through life with no purpose. We have our goals just for the sake of having a goal, so that we don't have to face the loneliness. All we have is purposeless purposes.
I think this has something to do with the fall of religion in the west. We used to have a "story" that gave people's lives meaning. It might have been bullshit, but that doesn't matter, because if people believed it, then it legitimately worked for them. It gave them a sense of purpose and meaning.
When we got rid of the christianity story, we never replaced it with a new one. We just left a big hole where that story used to be. And so now we're all miserable nihilists.
The life of a jellyfish floating endlessly to no particular place.
Life has no purpose, it's all meaningless. So just make your own purpose, create your own meaning. My purpose is to be happy and I know what makes me happy or what would make me happy so I do everything in my power to strive for that. I mean that works for me at least.
Pilgrims Pass does a better job explaining this and i suggest u watching the channel.
@@ahobimo732i have tried creating my own meaning,but the very knowledge that everything is meaningless is preventing me from doing so.
how can i create a meaning if i am aware that it is meaningless in the first place?
My coworker was shtting on me for not doing more hustles when I get out of work.
I do my 8-5 and then go home to relax.
He does his 8-5 and goes home to continue working.
We're proud of him, cause he's doing well, even showing up on tv. But every day he complains how exhausted he is. How lonely he feels. And he's just as broke as the rest of us.
He calls me unambitious, and says I could be doing so much more, which is true.
But my home is my sanctuary, and my husband's too. We could be making more money, but we rather enjoy the time we have together.
who cares if you don't do more. he's juste jealous that you have the courage to live your life the way he's secretly dreaming about.
This is exactly how I feel I go to work mon-Friday and enjoy my weekends off with family and friends.I have a friend who is all about hustle and I can be to at times but he’s working long hours with different jobs and tells me I could be making more I know that I could be it’s just something that seems empty about it.I’m starting to find new hobbies and just enjoy the simple things in life,sending more time with loved ones in my free time,and connecting with god.
I do plan on being financially free through smart budgeting and multi revenue streams to invest properly.Later buy a home on land ,I’ll figure out the rest once I get there
Some people have more "ambition" but I think it's created by so many internal and external factors that it doesn't make sense to lump it all into one concept. It can be driven by positive things and/or negative things. I have to remind myself all the time that I'm self sufficient and if I don't have the drive or the energy to do more things to chase more money then it shouldn't matter.
@5Deona5 And this coworker will probably die immediately upon retirement; and there are lots of ways to 'die' before you die physically. I'm recovering from severe burnout right now after a lifetime of working and working and working harder than I needed to . I'm too young to retire, and will need to work again at some point. Right now, I'm burning through saving but it's the only choice I have. If I didn't stop when I did, I'd be dead right now. Glad I don't believe God is not dead; in fact, this whole decline professionally has led to a more realistic, authentic relationship with God. I'd made work my god and it didn't work, though I tried to make it so.
Smart choice, in the end no one regrets making too litle money, a lot of people regrets spending too litle time with they're loved ones.
I recently watched a classic comedy from my contry, set in the early 80s in the city in which I live. I understand it's a comedy and it's supposed to be relaxing, but when I saw the background shots of my city in that time, I thought, it seemed to peaceful, so relaxed. I asked my dad about it, who lived in that time and he said, people didn't worry about money. The only thing you worried about back then was personally issues and your job, and as long as you did your job, good money would come, you didn't have to think about it. As long as you worked and did something, money would follow and as a result, people were relaxed. Can't imagine.
What was the Movie? Was it Playtime by any chance?
O kojoj komediji je rec zemljace?
People have ever increasingly outcompeted each other, become greedy, lined ever increasingly efficient and ruthless businesses pockets. We created a hostile environment trying to be #1
"Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."
The fact Gen X wasn’t even included in the loneliness survey…
They aren’t kidding when they say people skip them all the time.
I was born in 1968 and every time I see these children talking about themselves and like gee you know everybody born 20 years before you had the same problems I just get really confused. So really America hasnt had a functional society since 1970

Honestly gen x was the ones who raised us. I don't know why people Ever mention it

If you analyze your statement 'Gen X raised us' with objective facts...
Gen X was raised by boomers, and the ones born in the mid to late 70s on were not raised at all. Most of these Gen X lile myself were raised by tv and outdoor activities with other "latchkey kids" because both our parents were at work.
So, therefore if your Gen X parent was born 1975 or later, they most likely grew up without parents around until they got home from work.
So if your parent is one of these Gen X kids, what do you expect of a parent raised in the streets or in front of a television?
I know an old man who said he got first job at a bank straight out of school with no university by just walking into a branch and asking the manager for a job. He owns something like 6 houses and has 8 grandkids. smh
I mean, hit 20 banks looking for a job you'll probably find one and climb the ladder. Lol. Banking is boring for most but it can pay well
My uncle came back from fighting the Korean war got a job in a few weeks sweeping the banks floors retired as regional manager with only a grade 10 education.
@@WhiteWolfos Banks would never hire you though without an education... not even as security as you need a license/education for that too. There's way more requirements for jobs nowadays
LOL 😂 don’t feel bad kids. In 2000 I remember on Wall Street you could virtually walk in from the street and sign up to be a stock broker or an investment banker. Same in the mid 90’s and late 80’s. A lot of those dudes cleared a few hundred grand a year. You guys got royally f’d.
"YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HUSTLE!!!" But I fucking won't. I want to live in the forest with my cute boyfriend, my miata, a gaming PC, and a decent stream of disposable income to spend on my cute little roadster. I feel very seen in this video. Thank you.
Miata gang!
Miata, nice
Miata 😂
@@sonicleaves k.
I have this but instead of a miata i have an e30. Sure it beats living in an apartment in a city by a mile. But it too gets quite meaningless as you grow older. Either way cute to see someone idealize your life :)
Honestly what really bugs me about the gender thing is I'm not the one fixated on it. Everyone else makes it a giant deal. I just am what I am man.
Agreed. I’ve never felt an intrinsic sense of gender- what does that even look like? I don’t feel like a man. I don’t feel like a woman. I’m just me. Call me he, she, him, her, they, whatever- I don’t really care? Like, they’re just words. If you’re uncomfortable with the standards associated with those words then just… don’t conform to those standards?
Idk. It just seems like a really meaningless pursuit to me.
When you look at it as a reaction to the overly-strict gender roles of the 20th century, it doesn’t even make sense. Why not just abolish gender entirely? We know it isn’t real. We know it’s made up. So why are we reducing the states of “manness” and “womanness” to sets of hyper-gendered clothes and hairstyles? Why are we perpetuating these gender stereotypes? Why can’t we just say “males can wear dresses and females can have short hair” and be done with it?
At a certain point it just feels like mass hysteria
The thing with the modern gender discourse is it feels most of it stems from situation. Like a lot of the people who were saying stuff like this throughout history, like Public Universal Friend who was using neopronouns in 16th century, was not influenced by anyone and genuinely came to an intrinsic decision, it was not easy to rebel against societal norms like that back then. It feels a lot of people now are more influenced due to the whole thing being almost mainstream, some propose the argument that no it's because now you're not ostracized for differing sexualities and genders and that's why it is more popular. But I feel the fact that people wrongly attribute it as a "fad" due to how prevalent it is as well as how many people just change on a whim or don't even know what they are talking about in regards to gender makes it feel like people jumping on a bandwagon to me. Like the pronouns stuff is a great idea on paper for trans people because it makes it easier for them to be regarded as what they actually identify as, but at the same time it feels like almost this "customization" game with how people are treating gender identity. I hope I'm not coming off as insensitive or anything I'm just curious as to what the consensus is on the matter and this was how I saw it.
@@cryo8055 I feel basically exactly the same way but everyone around me acts like they have a clear sense of it. Makes me doubt myself a bit cause how could both be true?
@@cryo8055 I understand what you mean but saying gender isn't real is just blatantly incorrect. It does still exist on a technical level considering that's how reproduction works but the solution to things like discrimination or stereotypes isn't to just abolish the concept of it. That's like saying if we want to get rid of racism we need to just pretend everyone is the same color. That's kind of the exact opposite of what we as a society should be leaning towards. In reality I think the true solution isn't abolishing the concept of gender (which most people are perfectly comfortable with) but rather just being more accepting of individuality. Not every man has to be as masculine or feminine as anyone else perceives they should be and the same goes for women. Using the point of "I don't feel like a man or a woman" as a reason for why gender should be abolished is kind of silly considering a good majority of people will absolutely be firm about their own gender. I personally went through a bit of a phase of uncertainty and ultimately decided I was comfortable as a man and that's it's just what I am but that doesn't mean I think everyone who is born a man should have to view themselves as one. That's a very "me me me" way of looking at things. It's a lot more nuanced than that and everyone will have their own unique experiences with their gender and everyone should just be respected equally no matter what they choose to identify as. You shouldn't have to eliminate the concept of gender to be comfortable in your own skin.
Yup, that's why they are called reactionaries.
Everything is going as planned just not our plan
if you think any group or person can set the whole world on a single plan you are overestimating humanity.

The only thing dumber than a conspiracy theorist is a coincidence theorist.
@@ded5630 all these "great plan" are just dumb. You attribute something to a great evil, a simple scapegoat, what in reality is simply human nature. You blame it all on some big entity and deny the fact that change can happen.
It's a typical nihilistic approach to the future.
@@RasmusKarlJensen yeah yeah, the Meinhof effect is not real and the TV is speaking to you. Heard it before.
There are coincidences and there are conspiracies.
But both not on the scale people like to think. It's like flat earthers creating whole narratives instead of accepting the obvious truth.
So many of us are wondering what could we be, that we stopped wondering who we should be. Not everyone can be a doctor, a famous artist, or a high paid lawyer, so why put ourselves into endless debt in an over saturated or limited field? Not every job can be glamorous or prestigious. Find something you’re good at or capable of that’s in high demand, find out how to make the most from it, and use it to pay the bills. Eventually you’ll find a balance that allows you not worry about survival and is enough to keep you satisfied in life.
Tell that to parents who think you should work harder and that you aren't doing enough in life.
"Nobody wants to work these days", amirite?
Honestly, this is kinda painful. I was thinking all of my childhood that i will became good programmer. Good pay, very promising and i always was good with computers. Just one day, i understood that i fucking hate programming and when i went to the high school (10 and 11 grades in my country) i am just for some reason that i want to be in military. And being fat and weak it required shitload of time, blood and sweat to pass PT test. And here i am, studying to became military corpsman.
It's not about even survival, neither about glamour or prestige, it's about what you wanna do with your life, who you wanna be and what you wanna achieve.
"Endlessly entertained yet endlessly guilty" ...damn, hit the nail on the head on how I've felt lately with that one
Thanks jREG, you really showed those lonely people whose boss
An existence of endless productivity makes no value out of the small moments that make the act of living a worthwhile endeavor.
i blame the chinese for the productivity cult.
How many people would be incapable of experiencing those small moments, were it not for the abundance of productivity we enjoy today? How many would be dead from disease and famine, never be born because the resources to support them never existed, or simply suffer because the niche which they fit into best was never created?
It's easy to blame productivity for our problems, until you see what happens in its absence. Why can't simple joy instead be considered "productive" in its own unique way, by its own merit? That seems much healthier to me.

Yeah, I'm Gen Z. Been running on six or less hours of sleep for the last few months. Had my first "breakdown" while at work. 9 hour shift seems like nothing, but adding onto being awake for 33 hours by the time my shift ended, plus the just absolutely terrible attitude of customers who are just rude for the sake of being rude.
It wasn't a "collapse and sob", it was a "tear up and start laughing maniacally", and then felt very happy for the rest of the shift, and would laugh at anything bad that happened for the rest of the shift. Hell, it was a joke among coworkers. "Hey, he's finally joined the club!" "Welcome to the breakdown club!".
Wouldn't trade anything for em', but looking back at the past twelve months working with them, they've also had that sort of breakdown a few times as well.
Sounds less a breakdown and more a manic episode
Brah that sounds like the Joker syndrome

time is a circle
each generation thinks the next one is gonna be shite and depressed and lost but see themselves as wiser than the ones before. (can't find the quote but I think some author summed that up better once.)
Yes! Exactly!
That used to be true, but the only thing you can bet on these days is they're not doing to be like they were 20 years ago.
We, societally have seen more change in the last 100 years than all the rest of human history. They barely knew how to manipulate hydrocarbons 100 years ago, today we've graduated from hydrocarbons and now directly manipulate energy, be it nuclear or otherwise electromagnetic. And you think the perceived societal change under such radically adapting system is imagined, not material? The system is entirely materially different. Question people's rational, the claims they make, but don't claim things aren't changing. That imo, I dangerously lazy thinking in a time of such immense upheaval.

I've been offline for a couple of weeks now and alone with my thoughts,
No internet for about 17 days,
I've been able to write better and produce better art than ever before
My ideas flow out like an everlasting river,
Ive had writers block for months now struggling to write anything about the book im working on but these past 17 days ive gone further than ever before,
I couldn't even think about what my character did before but ive scripted 5 chapters out of 10 that's i plan on writing before i start storyboarding
The internet is a wonderful tool but over stimulation kills creativity boredom is where creativity thrives,
Being alone with your thoughts for hours is the best way to get your best ideas forward.
Thank you so much. I was going insane. ill try to cut internet out of my life
I am literally sitting at a desk at work, the only one in the building with the lights off, looking outside of the window and watching this video. Eerie. Coincidentally, I'm also putting my two weeks in today. Feels amazing to escape.

We’re living in a Late-Game Minecraft world
Many great artists predicted the future, part on the reason why so many only become known after they are long gone, when we look at their work and be like "damn, this guy was onto something". Art always precedes culture.
Bukowski and Philip Dick were dead on.
I grew up in the countryside and since living in a metropolis for a few years, I realized there is a huge difference between socializing in these two environments. In cities, there is so many people you can and have to choose who you hang out with, while in rural areas, you often end up socializing with whomever is there, because of the low population density.
Since Ive lived in the big city, I have no patience to hang out with people I dont have something in common, and even if I like it that way, I do realize it just how much it does compound the solitude problem.
Going out in the country to my friends place and people are much nicer in public and even at the local mall and parks. In my city everyone treats everyone with hostility so even if you're trying to be nice, people see you as a creep
Damn interesting take
Life is about people.
Life is about Humanity
Life is about the connections you share that humanity with
God i really loved seeing his art when it was on exhibition at the Whitney. I really love how somber many of his pieces feel.
I've had multiple people try to tell me off for not being more ambition and chase the money. the thing is, i realized something at the one point in my life i made real money, the short six months where i was either working or sleeping, making all the money i could need, i could have rented an apartment, bought fancy things, saved up and bought a better car. instead i just burnt myself down until even the ashes were burning and realized that renting somewhere was no better than sleeping in my car since i didn't even have more than an hour of free time a day anyway before it was sleep and another work day. i realized that with how screwed the economy is and how little the people in power care to fix it i had too choices, live a life i can be proud of and hopefully do what i can to at least leave this world slightly better for the next generation, or work myself to an earlier grave and leave the world the way i found it. i may be broke now but i have time to sit down and play D&D one night a week and check in on the people around me.
You didn’t cover Edward’s childhood so here:

"I think that New York is the new model for the new concentration camp, where the camp has been built by the inmates themselves, and the inmates are the guards, and they have this pride in this thing that they’ve built-they’ve built their own prison-and so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners. And as a result they no longer have-having been lobotomized-the capacity to leave the prison they’ve made or even to see it as a prison."
Nietzsche said "God is dead. God remains dead, and we have killed him." in 1882 as an 1883 sign flashes over your head. Nice.
That was entirely unplanned actually. Proof that God isn’t dead
There is no god.
@@PrivateForPersonalReasonsThen why are you talking about God? Why when humans are having sex they scream oh my God? Why when a human is on their death bed they plead with God for one more chance and say God if you give me just one more chance I promise God I won't do it again. Why when humans lose their keys they say God damnit? Trying to prove their isn't a God when they have a fractal of God within is quite silly. Humans can't create the sun earth water time our sacred vessels only God can. Humans have a flaw, they can't see. All whilst God is listening. They believe in money who's written on the dollar bill? In God we trust the all seeing eye meaning God sees everything. Mortals can't kill immortals they just hide until everyone is on their knees and they will be when they finally appreciate God's creation and stop destroying themselves because they are TERRIFIED of God. So they push God out of home work school church government and pretend they're in control as the US is completely bankrupt now they're running out of options they panic they invade they steal they kill by universal law someone could steal and take away from them. Holds humans accountable. Projecting their ideas which they only have ideas because God created their brains, humans can't create a brain. They can take a sperm and egg of which God created to create a baby but who created Lucy God's first born of which humans have Lucy DNA of which God created? It's the great awakening, once you see it you can't unsee it. Humans will be saying what are us humans doing to each other? Why are humans lying cheating stealing invading? This is why God's in control and we're not our job is to obey the ten commandments. Fear is a liar F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal. Why fear something just because humans told you to fear it? Are humans afraid of healing and ascending? The humans do everything to try to prove God doesn't exist whilst working with the God gene. All this is doing is proving humans are blind thinking they're in control and finding out they're not. God knew before we were even created what man is capable of. Deception, which means they're lying, to themselves mainly. Have an amazing awakening process!
I’m lonely sometimes but I’ve just been focused on school and college for my whole life while also using devices like a phone to bring my mind away from the real world.
Im resonating with this video on a spritual level. I'm 23, extremely lonely, barely make fucking money despite how hard i try, and i just dont wanna do this shit anymore.
I’m a millennial with a wife, 3 kids and 2 friends that I regularly hang out with. I used to be a gamer back in the day, had no interest in the “outside world”. Finished school, got a job and started adulting. Things changed along the way… it sucked to slowly start adjusting to a more social setting, but I HAD TO. (I used to go to work and blast metal on my headphones all day 😂) It makes life easier if you’ve got people around you who can count on you. But remember, you don’t need to count on them. Be useful and needed.
Hahaha this sounds familiar with me. I’m 2nd year uni and I only talk to my two room mates from my home town, blast metal and study all day and play pc games. Maybe things will change once I’m outta school
@@aidanwinn8736 When I started working 16 years ago, I was horrible at team work! I used to do entire projects on my own; which led to me being overworked while my colleagues went out for drinks. Over time (took quite a while unfortunately) I started learning to relax and to relate. Life is far much easier when people are fond of you. If somehow you can break away from the internal voices, you will reach your goals quicker.
It's at least incredibly comforting that other people are experiencing it
No way, bro has contact with Jreg. Nice.
Currently taking 2 of the hardest AP classes at my school and even then it all just feels like it's for nothing
Thanks for reminding me about Edward Hopper, I remember hearing about him for the first time from another video and falling in love with his art immediately. His work is very relatable to my life.
Hopper is just my favorite artist of all times. It's the loneliness on his paintings so intimate and public and relatable.
Edvard munch painted these feelings as well.
i like the subtle advertising of the mug throughout the video, very nice
I am lonely because i am afraid to be known. I don't know who i am anymore and to get close to people again risks them knowing me better than i know myself. What if they discover something terrible before I do?
I hate how much I relate to this
idk if this helps,but i like to think that what i am is what i have experienced in my life and what i choose to do as that is what i myself know and what other people think i am...
being yourself isnt complicated,its thinking that there is more when in fact the self is very simple,its needs,the actions and your thoughts[not counting any other mental disorder].
you are just a meatball inside a robot that YOU control,nothing more and nothing less.
Or worse, like it. Lol
True its nice knowing how easily i will be forgotten.
Your editing and content are incredible. Thank you for sharing this.

Every timeperiod gets the art it deserves. Glad to have you here.

10:51 "So how do we stop this?"
I'm glad you asked and it seems more people are actually asking that same question so I think it is about time for the teachers to come forward once again.
The answer to your question, and most other problems in your society, is community.
It all keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
Top tier video.
I hope more people see it and resonate
Ok seriously how the do you not have more subscribers. How?!? Your videos are superb. They are so timely, they keep attention, but on top of it all, they are so informative. Thank you and pls keep it up!
Dude, your videos are great! I totally dig that vibe ❤
The pandemic definitely changed our ability to socialize, even far after the fact.
This is hilarious, I'm a huge Hopper fan and when covid started, I would post his paintings on my timeline (FB as I'm gen x ) and caption it with how I am in love with lock down. I really was, as I'm an absolute hermit.

Same, I'm just not good with people and prefer being alone. Also gen X
Hopper was the original liminal space ganster
Your channel is fucking amazing. Your ability to connect art with contemporary problems is unique. You deserve significantly more attention.
the 6ix 😈, great video btw keep up the amazing work
Wow. Can a video save a life? The last words were so impactful. Thank you for this.
That's how he ends every video; don't kill yourself.

Can we appreciate that wholesome guy at the end? :)
We were rugged individualists at one time where we broke free from the church, religion, monarch, god, etc.. , all for good reason, because that became too problematic- dogmatic, shallow, overbearing- and began an uncharted journey on our own doing our own thing. Now, without the guidance of spirituality, religion, and/or authority, we have become conformists, conforming to our tribes, clicks, friends and the society that we created by ourselves. So ironically, rugged individualism eventually leads to conformity. Now without spirituality, religion, etc.- establishing a deeper profound meaning to life- we are broken and at a dead end as a society and as an individual, and nobody within the cultures and societies knows how to fix it, not even the churches, politicians, so called leaders of groups, etc. So we stay conformed to our groups thinking that a least it is some kind of identification, security or whatever it is that fulfills you and connects you to something bigger and more lasting than yourself.
So here it is an excellent quote from my favorite philosopher that may help the broken ones out of the trap they’ve set for themselves:
“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.
And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
~ Alan Watts
Namaste 🙏
I absolutely love this entire perspective. It’s truly crazy and I am so glad to know about Hoppers work! Amazing!
I think at its core, hustle culture comes from a good place of achieving your dreams, but its messaging turned into a monster at some point. I dont think the answer is hustling nor is it doing nothing. Its just about finding balance to nurture each aspect of your life. In an ideal world, money would be an afterthought, not the driving force in our decisions or our happiness.
hustle culture literally comes from the idea of competition. it has nothing to do with achieving your dreams because your dreams are not a competition. working hard is what you're talking about. we should all try to work hard at what we do. hustle culture is about working hard for the sake of working hard. imagine being someone whose dream is simply "have more money than everyone else".
The term hustle in the business world was always about prying money out of people at every possible interaction, sometimes in the criminal sense. Then it became corporate slang for competition amongst your coworkers - so that you could be the one to get the raise and make more money. The "side hustle" is a fairly recent slang to describe a second job, without sounding as depressing as a second job. If hustle culture is now about working hard for the sake of working hard, then I guess the machine won because that's insanity @@Sharkface5
@@Sharkface5 i tried to reply to this a while back but i think youtube glitched it out of existence for some reason... hustle culture has evolved from the "just do it" mentality (think shia LaBeouf yelling at you meme). The term 'hustle' was actually viewed and projected very positively at one point. Look up hustle dragon on youtube. There was nothing involving competition at that point, it was just a message for people who had things they wanted to do, but might have been scared to take the leap, or would put things off and list excuses. It was a way to tell people, "yeah its gonna be hard, theres gonna be roadblocks along the way, but just do it" now its turned into a competition, and i think its because the people who decided they are 'just doing it' are superior to others that list excuses. And thus, it evolved from there. Most ideas come from good intentions in the beginning before they spiral into ass.
@@ConfuzzledOwO i agree with that thanks for the thoughtful response
Was that Jreg
My favorite video on UA-cam right now, new sub here. Thanks Chad!
Great content! In depth understanding of the topic. Great job Chad! ❤❤❤
That clown smoking is who I tell people is the jokers dad.
Art chad upload time to stop gooning and lock in.
mans runnin the algo i never seen ur channel before and i got recommended this 36 min after u uploaded this nice work fam
Ive been going through a lot as a now ypung adult, and man that last line is something I definitely needed to hear. Awesome video.
Yep Edward Hopper always been my favorite artist who influenced my art. His art always struck my as a tragic romance.
We have a society without a transcendent center. When the material world becomes the center of individual being and of a society, they don’t make room for prioritization of the metaphysical values, because they don’t believe in them. Things like church, prayer, worship, the sanctity of family time (on a non-negotiable level). If you only value the material, people will clamor to take and horde as much for themselves as they can, and they will create artificial scarcity but cutting off access to it by others. The only way out of this is to reconnect with non-negotiable transcendent values. We have to prioritize days for worship and family. As well as designated times in the day for such.
The truth is, nobody is truly lonely,it is thinking which creates this story. Once we attached to this belief we lose ourselves to a lie. All is connected...realize this and all is harmony.
First time watching, edits are crazy and the information is fire
You are so brave to film in the chaos that is Dundas square.
Being lonely has made me realize that I am not alone in being lonely.
Thanks for introducing me to Pavel Stroke!
This is the best channel I have found in a year at least, thank you man.
I think my dude just interviewed Jreg.
Yep, jREG that definitely is
How ironic this has turned out that
social media or internet are supposed to make us all feel connected no matter where we are
And by being connected with just a click should about make us feel like we are not alone
And yet it had turned upside down as too much people nowadays are sooooo obsessed with "Social Media's Attention" that they are willing to sell their souls for it without having a shame doing even the most shameful things in front of the billions of people
4:30 this! This is my favorite piece and has been for two decades now. I loved this piece when I was 13 years old because I saw this and saw my future. And right out of college it was literally me. I sat in front of a window looking out past my computer thinking about it as my boss yelled over my shoulder to get back to work. I sat in front of her under constant surveillance.
And it literally only got worse from there.
this is the wake up call that i needed in my life thank you so much for this
Art Chad hittin em again with the BANGERS
That person just yelling in the street was such a Toronto thing lmao 🤣
I Respect the amount of effort put into this video. Great job!
Man, I love your videos so fucking much. They give me context in areas I didn't know I needed
the fact that not you, but every one is lonely, for me its much more lonely. The fact that you aren't the only one that's suffering, but a lot of other people are.. Bruh, we just need hugs and people that can be with you without this shit of cellphone and without those awkward silences ( sorry if i made some english mistake, i'm Brazilian )
Im learning so much from you ever since i found your channel thank you
Realizing that I couldn’t find an answer of why you want to work other than because you want to be rich blew my mind when I figured that out. What changed my perspective was when you asked if we ever questioned the reason why we want to work, why we want to be rich, because wtv meaning our lives hold to one’s self should be more than just “progress for progresses sake” Anyway my personal favourite video as of now . A truly enlightening takeaway. We’ve indeed with many people including myself have lost ourselves with the pursuit of a “common sense of truth” in our lives. Taking a step back to find ourselves, our truth, our pursuit is probably the most productive use of time in one’s life; even if it is not recognized that way by the majority.
This shows why we need to support creative people like like furrys, because if we keep ourselves closed off, this will affect not just us but the entire generation if people continued like this, "Not expressing themselves" which keeps people shy, plus the presence of "cancel culture" people, like *Anti-furs* that bash on others for being different which causes low self-esteem and conflict in general, which causes people to be less expressive of themselves.
+1 for jreg cameo
I was looking to see if someone else commented this
Jreg popping up in random videos like a post meta ironic Stan Lee
Jreg cameos are always a good sign of a great video, love to see it!
Great work! Looking forward to more!
Amazing video and great contextualization of the zeitgeist with reference to Nietzsche. Many who bring up his work do so without any grounds, but here, there's no doubt it's relevant to the era. I also appreciate that you've only read the name Nietzsche before, as I've never heard Nietzsche mispronounced [Nee]+[chay] before. When mispronounced, most usually say [Nee]+[chee]. And don't take this to be a bad thing. As the years go on, and social media's hooks sink deeper, fewer and fewer people seem to have the willpower to read, so having only ever read his name is something to be commended.
This video reminded me why I love art after so many years I lost touch with it. It's a bit unrelated to the video topic, but the way to powerfully express a message with art like that artist does is what I really enjoyed doing, and I completely forgot about it after being burnt out by college. Expressing something in a way that is universal and superior to any language always felt magical for me, love the creative part of it!
With that said, thanks!
That last guy’s brutal honesty 😢 I hope you took him up on that.
Don't you worry we're old friends just doing a funny bit for your entertainment!
@@chatboychit oh word. Good to know lol
@@chatboychit you guys are absolutely killing it by the way
Man if I had a guy like that approach me and said the exact words he said. That'll be far better than 100 girlfriends proposing to me at the same time.
That intro could be a song intro fr haha, you explained it well and I hope to see more videos in this style
0:44 called me out directly.It genuinely terrifies me that the only unity humanity has now is in technological pain
Could it be the fault of society that encourages nothing but meaningless growth of wealth?
No! It’s the kids who are wrong!!
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
In case y'all wanted the full Nietzsche quote.
Loved your acting in The White Lotus. Its cool that you also have a youtube channel.
Put this in my favorites. Good work brother 💪🏾🫡
I didn’t realize it was jreg till after the intro montage, he’s more dressed up than usual
Same he looks too normal lol
@@mcnoodles3010Well he’s jregular now after all
